Philanthropy is easy when Bernie is supplying you with other peoples money to be a generous with.....how veryliberal of you.

A heart attack might be a good career move - you could continue your victimhood into the next life.

“When you hit 96, I think you get some immunity,” said...

You may, but your money won't.

Top Boston philanthropist Carl Shapiro is reportedly facing a criminal probe into his ties to Bernard Madoff, although experts say it’s not clear the 96-year-old Hub man will ever face charges.

“When you hit 96, I think you get some immunity,” said Willis Riccio, former New England chief of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are people who've died waiting to go to trial. Let him spend the last 4 years of his life dealing with the stress of legal investigation if it is warranted. No "immunity". And don't be afraid to confiscate any ill gotten wealth. Why should he be able to live out his days high on the hog if the money was stolen?

"When you hit 96, I think you get some immunity."

Unless you're John Demjanjuk.

WSJ had an article thank Shapiro and Stanley Chasis among maybe a few others could tell Bernie what return they wanted. In some cases they got 200%. Anyone telling Bernie the return they wanted knew it was a scam.

Bernie was such a good pal to the Democrat Party. Most of his investors were ripped off by the people on the top of the pile - Bernie, Shapiro, Merkin, Chasis, et al. The invetsors thought Bernie could front run too.

WSJ reported that Shapiro is one of at least eight Madoff associates targeted by a probe into Madoff’s $65 billion Ponzi scheme. Others include Shapiro’sSIL--- Robert Jaffe---- a part-time Weston resident who allegedly served as Madoff’s Hub salesman

I GUESS THIS ITEM COMES FROM ONE OF THOSE HATE-FILLED ANTI SEMITIC WEB SITES (/sarc)

Robert M. Jaffe, the broker who steered many wealthy investors to Bernard Madoff's investment fund through both New York-based Cohmad Securities Corp., partly owned by Madoff and of which Jaffe is a vice president, and Jaffe's own Palm Beach-based M/A/S Capital Corp, previously "did business with another notorious rogue: former Boston mob leader Gennaro Angiulo."

Jaffe, under investigation for his ties to the Wall Street investor who authorities say confessed to running a Ponzi scheme, was the stockbroker to Angiulo and his brothers, reputed members of the Boston Mafia, before they were sent to jail on racketeering charges in 1986. He first represented the Angiulos when he worked at the investment firm E.F. Hutton in the 1970s, and the Angiulos followed him when he became the Boston branch manager at Cowen & Co. in 1980, according to a Boston Globe article in 1985 that quoted Cowen's lawyer, Lawrence Leibowitz.

NOW HE'S BEING CURSED Post-Madoff, Bob Jaffe was called a "dirty bastard" and nearly pummeled at posh Mar-a-Lago by Nine West shoe chain founder Jerome Fisher, who lost $150M with Madoff.

Laurence Leamer, who authored a book about the Palm Beach denizens, labeled Jaffe (a former Boston shoe salesman who inveigled the rich to invest with Madoff) "a 60-something peacock in a black dinner jacket....[with] an aging gigolo's looks, and a face that looks like a caricature of youth."

Ellen Jaffe is trying to ditch Leamer's March 16 book lecture, "Madness Under the Royal Palms," at the Kravis Center. His rep said Jaffe has not had plastic surgery, that he's been married 40 years and still "very much in love. Jaffe's name has been mud since the Madoff scandal broke.

===================================

Hmmmmmmmm.......where have I heard that song before? "The Jaffes have been married 40 years and are still very much in love." QUESTION When Mrs Jaffe goes on one of her all-day shopping excursions----does Mr Jaffe's manicurist make a (cough) house call?

Bob and Ellen Jaffe and the wonders of plastic surgery.

I grew up next door to a guy who,along with other members of his family,was one of Madoff’s bigger victims.Haven't talked to him for years but I still have a friend in the neighbor who's heard that they were hit *big*.Couldn't happen to a more deserving fella.....never did like him...although I liked his father.
